Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Clear blue sky, boundless sea, a giant ship was sailing steadily.

On the lookout platform of the giant ship, a sturdy man with his upper body naked shielded his eyes with his hand, looking into the distance.

The coastline vaguely appeared, and seeing the destination was near, a smile crept up the corner of his mouth.

He spread his arms, feeling the sea breeze, his expression filled with excitement and a touch of exuberance, his pose slightly flamboyant.

"Lai Gou'er, time to eat."

Suddenly, a shout from the deck of the ship startled the man.

Like a nimble monkey, he scurried down the lookout platform in no time.

When he was three meters above the deck, he leaped down, landing lightly.

Revealing two rows of white teeth, he smiled and said, "Miss, we're almost there. Do you think... shouldn't I change into some presentable clothes before seeing him?"

Chu Qinghan nodded: "That's natural. After landing, quickly get a new set of clothes, otherwise it would be impolite."

As the two were talking, another person walked out of the cabin.

Chu Qinghan and Lai Gou'er quickly saluted: "Lord Shen."

Shen Yi smiled: "It's been so long, still so polite. Gou'er, are those foreigners alright? Don't let anything go wrong when we get to the capital."

Lai Gou'er nodded: "They don't have any major physical problems, but they still chatter away all day, and I can't understand what they're saying."

"However, one of them had another episode, and started bleeding from his mouth and nose... It's not a big problem, we can just let him rest for a few days after landing, like before, and he should be fine."

"That's good."

Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, looking towards the harbor in the distance.

Lai Gou'er added: "The Second Miss still isn't eating or drinking, and she's terribly seasick. Miss, we've run out of the medicine we brought."

"She insisted on coming along and suffering, who can she blame?" Chu Qinghan stamped her foot and said angrily, "Let's buy some more medicine after we land."

......

Inside the Jinyiwei headquarters, Fang Zheng was looking at the news reports from various places with nothing to do.

Nothing major happened in the capital, usually just small officials bullying the people.

Usually, these things were left to Qian Desheng to handle, and he could do whatever he wanted.

But slacking off... couldn't be done all the time.

If it went on for too long, his subordinates would be dissatisfied, or if he was impeached, it wouldn't be good.

So occasionally, he had to take some time to come and pretend to be busy.

In addition to this, Lord Fang also set a timetable for himself, intentionally or unintentionally spreading it within the Jinyiwei.

Something about having to attend the early morning court before dawn.

After the early morning court, various meetings, his day was fully packed, his feet never touching the ground.

During the day, he arranged personnel matters, only ate one lunch, and before going to bed at night, he had to review the classics of the sages, or read the essays of past top scholars, and so on.

It wasn't all fake, he also liked to read some uncensored forbidden books before going to bed in his previous life, and he also read many articles by Nobel Prize winners in mathematics...

The Jinyiwei below, after seeing this inspirational timetable, were all saying that great men really had a reason to become great men!

It was really diligence opening the door to diligence, diligence to the extreme!

People who are more talented than you are also more hardworking than you, so what qualifications do I have not to work hard!

A bowl of nourishing and silent chicken soup was swallowed just like that....

Only Fang Zheng himself knew how good his life was.

However, on this day, he was suddenly notified urgently by Qian Desheng.

Fang Zheng waited for about ten minutes, and Qian Desheng ran back from the side room.

Breathlessly, he ran to Fang Zheng with a letter in his hand: "Lord, this is a letter sent by Shen Yi this morning. The messenger said it was urgent and asked you to see it as soon as possible."

Urgent?

Was the ship finished, or... were there technical difficulties?

Opening the letter, Fang Zheng read it carefully, and after reading it once.

He immediately felt relaxed and threw the letter on the table with a smile.

Qian Desheng said: "Lord, is it good news?"

Fang Zheng nodded and smiled: "Good news! Yu Ding City has finished building the ship and sailed it over, and they brought some foreigners with them... No wonder they haven't sent me a letter for so long, it seems they wanted to surprise me."

"They will be in the capital tomorrow! Arrange for people to go down and pick them up to my house, and prepare wine and food."

"Which house, Lord?"

"My own house, which other house!" Fang Zheng glared.

The way he said it, it was as if I had a group of mistresses outside!

"Foreigners... I wonder what kind of foreigners they are, maybe I can chat with them a bit! Call Lu Fa over and let him go pick them up tomorrow."

Qian Desheng said in surprise: "Lord, you can speak foreign languages, we haven't seen people from Western countries before?"

Fang Zheng snorted: "my name is ..."

"Foreign languages are nothing difficult. I learned it from Prince Wu, and I'll know it in two days, no difficulty."

Qian Desheng looked amazed and gave a thumbs up: "Lord is really amazing, you speak such good foreign languages! But what did that sentence mean just now..."

"Heh, you wouldn't understand even if I told you, go down."

After Qian Desheng left, Fang Zheng leaned back contentedly.

My studies weren't good in my previous life, but at least I'm the number one English speaker in Da Jing!

I wonder if those foreigners have any special skills.

The Chu sisters even came together, I hope there won't be any misunderstandings...

The next day, outside the city gate.

Fang Zheng left work early and went out of the city.

Hearing that Shen Yi was returning to the capital, Li Yuanzhao also took the initiative to come along.

At this moment, more than twenty Jinyiwei were on standby outside the city gate, lined up in two rows waiting for Shen Yi and others to arrive.

Time passed by, and it was almost noon.

Two ordinary-looking carriages appeared.

They slowly stopped near the city gate.

The Jinyiwei stepped forward to question them, said a few words, and Shen Yi lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

Fang Zheng was in the shade, and only raised his head when he heard the Jinyiwei's announcement.

As soon as he saw Shen Yi, he poked Li Yuanzhao, who was still dozing off beside him, and immediately rushed forward with a smiling face.

"Shen Yi, welcome home!"

Shen Yi also had a happy face, stepped forward and cupped his fist: "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince, greetings, Lord Fang!"

"Yes, how was it in Yu Ding City? Was life good?" Li Yuanzhao asked with a smile.

Shen Yi's expression suddenly became a little subtle.

At first, when he first arrived in Yu Ding City, life was indeed good, and many people came out to welcome him.

But as time went on... inexplicable changes took place in the city.

For some reason, all the brothels in the city gave him the title of Wine Demon God Shen Tan Hua.

As a result, everyone later thought he was a sex-starved ghost, and people would stuff women into his arms no matter what he was doing.

Later, he couldn't bear it and pushed them all away... But this push made the problem even bigger!

Now the city is spreading rumors that he has been whoring too much and his body is failing...

Later, he realized that this was all the work of Lord Fang in the capital.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi glanced at Fang Zheng resentfully and said with grief and indignation: "Life is good..."

Fang Zheng laughed loudly and stepped forward to pat Shen Yi on the shoulder: "It's good that life is good, Shen Yi, this official has always been thinking about you."
